Virginia Beach

My family and I just came back from a four day trip to Virginia beach, where we relaxed in yurts and cleaned up some trash along the way!. Because we stayed at a camp ground, there was a lot of small pieces of litter to pick up, especially in the sand. We also saw both a beached dead sea turtle and a dead pelican. The sea turtle was slightly more than four feet in length, and its shell was half destroyed. A few people who saw it believed that it might have been damaged by a boat propeller. This is one example of human impact right in front of us. Hopefully it did not pass away because of this reason, but it reminds us of the importance of being careful of wildlife.
